EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, published in 1846, depicts the famous literary character King Lear from William Shakespeare's tragic play, accompanied by an owl. The scene, taken from the nonsensical poem "There was an Old Man with a Owl," adds a whimsical twist to the historical figure. The old man, dressed in royal robes and holding a book, sits on a railing, deep in thought, while the owl perches on his shoulder, its large, wise eyes gazing intently. The bitterness of the ale in the old man's hand contrasts with the serene expression on his face, suggesting a sense of comfort and companionship with the owl. The use of the railing as a perch and the old man's worn, aged appearance adds to the antiquated feel of the image. The poem's nonsensical verses, which include the lines "He sat on a rail, and imbibed bitter ale, which refreshed that Old Man and his owl," add an air of mystery and intrigue to the print. The old man's continued howling and bothering, mentioned in the poem but not depicted in the image, leaves the viewer wondering about the backstory of this enigmatic character. This print, with its historical and literary significance, is a must-have for any collector of antique prints or those with an interest in Shakespearean literature and folklore. The image, published by Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a beautiful and intriguing addition to any collection or display.
